For those of us who grew up in the 1960s, 70s, or 80s, a typical school day - especially for boys - might have gone like this...

Up early. A quick breakfast. Do your morning paper round. Go to school - often on foot or by bike. Football in the morning break. School dinner followed by football (on a full stomach). Football in the afternoon break. Go home - often on foot or by bike. Do your evening paper round. Have your tea and watch a bit of kids’ TV. Play out with your mates (usually football) until you were reluctantly dragged home by your parents. Go to bed. Get up and repeat routine...

We didn’t know it at the time, but we were probably at the non-stop, inexhaustible peak of our fitness at an age before the adult world and its temptations of beer, curries, lethargy - and the rest - kicked in!

All of which bring us to our Chronicle photograph.

For whatever reason, back in the mists of time, it seems to have been incorrectly captioned as Ravenswood Junior School, Heaton, Newcastle, 1969.

If anyone knows which school this is, when the photo was taken, or who the youngsters are, do let us know.
